Volume Variations

In the midst of our busy days
we accomplish quite a lot
we study maps of our new house
(where our blankets and Lego are going to be)
we run and close doors
(they make high volume sounds)
we turn on and off taps
(and on and off and on and off and on and off)
we try on daddy's underwear
daddy's socks
daddy's shoes
daddy's boots
and hats

we fix walls with our tools

we fix empty baskets with our drum sticks

we out grow our pants

our pajamas

our socks

our toys

we push Mathey around

we push each other around in boxes

in baskets

under blankets

on chairs

over couches

under legs...

 

we eat a supper of chili, cheese and muffins

and then go back for more

(supper had ended 3 minutes before this photo)

breakfast of sandwhich, orange, banana and milk

then snack of whatever we can reach

then lunch of yummy pasta and avocado and cucumber 

and snack of cranberries, a cookie with chocolate chips and milk

and hurry mommy with supper because we are hungry hungry hungry

then a little snack before

snack time of yogurt and cheerios before bed.

We fill the day with action and volume,

however, there are down times too.

A pause in the day for a book

for a story with a tractor like Uncle Vincents

or a control tower like Uncle Camerons

(he owns them all, don't you know)

sets the tone nicely...

before the volume rises again

 .Off we go!
